I found the topic and some elements of the storyline captivating. A few of the twists in the plot seemed slightly contrived. I'd like to give it 3.5 stars, but that is unfortunately not possible. ]]> Review7020419933 Wed, 20 Nov 2024 07:34:04 -0800 /review/show/7020419933 Justin gave 4 stars to Ewige Jugend: Commissario Brunettis fünfundzwanzigster Fall (Kindle Edition) by Donna Leon

It took me darn close to two months to work my way through this book. Now, I tend to read less in the summer months, granted, and there has been a lot going on, but at least some of this duration has to be put down to the fact that, despite being overall an interesting, informative and insightful book, it was also tedious to a certain degree. On more than one occasion I found myself wishing I had bought the simplified version. I feel that I got so lost in the details that, by the time I finally got to the closing statements, I'd forgotten what many of the key terminoligy mentioned there again in closing meant. This left me wondering if I was going to have to go back and read it all again, just to be able to say that I'd understood it. Having said this, I will also say that it is nevertheless a worthwhile read and can be recommended to any and all who would like to understand the mind and processes of decision-making better. ]]> ReadStatus8317738947 Thu, 22 Aug 2024 12:46:17 -0700 /review/show/6782174299 Justin wants to read A Different Drummer by William Melvin Kelley

Exceptional and haunting. It takes place in the second decade of the twentieth century, but feels like it should be much longer ago. ]]>
